------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- CHAIN STITCH: If you work outermost on the hook the chain stitch will often be too tight; 1 chain stitch should be as long as 1 double/treble crochet is wide. CROCHET INFORMATION: Each row of treble crochets starts with 3 chain stitches, which replace the first treble crochet. The row ends with 1 treble crochet in the 3rd chain stitch from the beginning of previous row. COLOURS (for squares): CAST ON and ROUND 1: colour mustard ROUND 2: colour nutmeg ROUND 3: colour pink sand ROUND 4: colour off white ROUND 5: colour light taupe COLOUR-CHANGE TIP: For a neat transition when changing colours, work the last slip stitch on the round with the new colour as follows: Insert the hook in the first chain stitch at the beginning of the round, make 1 yarn over with the new colour and pull it through the loop on the hook. Fasten strands as you go. PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 to A.4. A.1 worked in the round. A.2 to A.4 are worked back and forth. ASSEMBLY OF SQUARES (front pieces): See diagram A.5 – choose diagram for your size. ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- JACKET – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: Squares are worked, then crocheted together for the front and back pieces. The sides and sleeves are worked in sections and the jacket assembled as described in the text. An edge around the jacket and two cords are worked to finish. WHOLE SQUARE: Read CHAIN STITCH, COLOURS and COLOUR-CHANGE TIP in explanations above. Work 4 chain stitches with hook size 3.5 mm and colour mustard DROPS Muskat. Form them into a ring with 1 slip stitch in the first chain stitch. Continue in the round with pattern A.1. REMEMBER THE CROCHET TENSION! When A.1 is finished, cut and fasten the strands. Work 36-36-38-38-60-60 whole squares. HALF SQUARE: Remember CHAIN STITCH, COLOURS and COLOUR-CHANGE TIP. Work 4 chain stitches with hook size 3.5 mm and colour mustard DROPS Muskat. Form them into a ring with 1 slip stitch in the first chain stitch. Continue in the round with pattern A.2. When A.2 is finished, cut and fasten the strands. Work 2 half squares in all sizes. WORKING SQUARES TOGETHER: Lay the squares for both front pieces as shown in diagram A.5 (choose diagram for your size), making sure the squares are right-side up. Work the squares on each front piece together, first length-wise then width-wise. Use colour light taupe to crochet together. Lay 2 squares edge to edge (there are 19 stitches along each side and 1 chain stitch from each corner-space) and work as follows: Start in one corner, * Insert the hook from the right side and down through the back loop on one square, insert the hook from the right side again and down through the back loop on the other square, pull the strand through both loops on the hook *, work from *-* until these 2 squares are worked together along the one side, work 1 chain stitch, work from *-* along the next 2 squares. Work like this until all squares in the length are worked together. When all the lengths are finished, work them together in width in the same way. NOTE: In sizes L, XL, XXL and XXXL, half the square at the top of the shoulder will belong to the front piece and half to the back piece. Work the squares on the back piece together in the same way, with 4-4-4-4-6-6 squares in width and 5-5-5-5-5 squares in height. Work the shoulders together – NOTE: In sizes S and M the squares are crocheted together on the top of the shoulder, in sizes L, XL, XXL and XXXL the squares are crocheted together on the back piece. SIDE SECTIONS: Work 14-22-30-42-10-22 chain stitches with hook size 3.5 mm and colour light taupe DROPS Muskat. Work 1 double crochet in the 2nd chain stitch from the hook, then 1 double crochet in each chain stitch = 13-21-29-41-9-21 stitches. Work the next row as follows from the right side: Work A.3A in the first stitch, A.3B 2-4-6-9-1-4 times, A.3C over the last 4 stitches. Continue this pattern back and forth until the piece measures 32-31-35-34-33-32 cm. Cut and fasten the strands. Work 1 more side section in the same way. SLEEVES: Work 62-66-70-74-78-82 chain stitches with hook size 3.5 mm and colour light taupe DROPS Muskat. Work 1 double crochet in the 2nd chain stitch from the hook, then 1 double crochet in each chain stitch = 61-65-69-73-77-81 stitches. Work the next row as follows from the right side: Work A.3A in the first stitch, A.3B 14-15-16-17-18-19 times, A.3C over the last 4 stitches. Continue this pattern back and forth until the piece measures 10 cm. Now increase 1 treble-crochet group both at the beginning and at the end of the row as shown in A.4. Repeat this increase when the piece measures 24-24-22-20-18-18 cm = 77-81-85-89-93-97 stitches. When the piece measures 36-35-34-32-30-28 cm, insert 1 marker in each side. Work until the sleeve measures 39-40-41-42-32-33 cm. Cut and fasten the strands. Work 1 more sleeve in the same way. ASSEMBLY: Insert 1 marker 21-22-23-24-25-26 cm from the top of the shoulder, down both the front and back pieces on each side; mark the armholes. Sew the side sections to the front and back pieces. The cast-on edge on the side sections should be at the bottom. Start at the bottom and sew edge to edge as far as the markers. Sew the sleeve seams – start at the bottom and sew edge to edge as far as the markers. Sew the sleeve cap to the armhole – stretch the sleeve cap slightly as it is sewn so it fits the armhole. Sew the split at the top of the sleeve to the bottom of the armhole – see sketch. EDGE: Use colour light taupe, start on one side of one side section at the bottom of the jacket, work 1 double crochet in the first stitch, * 3 chain stitches, skip 1½ cm, 1 double crochet in the next stitch *, work from *-* along the bottom edge, up the front piece, around the neck, down the other front piece and along the bottom edge, finish with 3 chain stitches and 1 slip stitch in the first double crochet. Cut and fasten the strands. CORD-TIES: Use colour light taupe and work a chain-stitch row of 80-80-90-90-100-100 cm. Tie a knot in each end. Lay the cord double. Thread the loop through a chain-space at the bottom of the V-neck on one front piece, thread the ends through the loop and pull tight. Make a second cord in the same way and thread through the bottom of the V-neck on the other front piece. |
